Tiger Woods Makes First Public Appearance Since DUI Arrest in Florida
Woods introduced new CEO Brian Rolapp and outlined a 2028 overhaul that will create a two-tier PGA Tour and minimum purses of $20 million.
- Tiger Woods made his first public appearance on Tuesday, June 23, 2026, since his March DUI arrest, appearing at the Travelers Championship in Cromwell, Connecticut, to introduce PGA Tour CEO Brian Rolapp.
- Following a two-car rollover crash near his home on Jupiter Island, Florida, in March, Woods entered inpatient rehabilitation in Switzerland, remaining away from the spotlight for nearly three months.
- Beginning in 2028, the PGA Tour will transition to a two-tier competitive model featuring a Championship Series and Challenger Series, with every event carrying a minimum purse of $20 million.
- The Tour Championship will shift to a match-play format and rotate among prestigious venues like Pine Valley and Cypress Point, departing East Lake Golf Club in Atlanta.
- As chair of the PGA Tour's Future Competitions Committee, Woods helped design these changes, stating the work focused on "building the strongest possible version of the PGA Tour" without addressing his legal situation.
